Ontwerpen voor elektrische hanglampen c. 1905

This is a pencil sketch of a design for an electric pendant lamp, created by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet in 1905. The sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the artist's artistic vision for a functional yet aesthetically pleasing lighting fixture. The detailed drawing of the lamp's intricate structure, including its suspension system and decorative elements, showcases Cachet's expertise in both design and craftsmanship. The sketch reflects the growing influence of Art Nouveau in the early 20th century, with its organic curves and emphasis on decorative details. It serves as a valuable glimpse into the creative process of a Dutch designer working at the turn of the century.
